Aaron Conor was the leader of the Earth colony on Moab IV, a genetically-engineered and socially isolated colony of Humans. In 2368, a stellar core fragment of a neutron star passed through the Moab system. The resulting gravitational stress threatened to create earthquakes stronger than the colony's artificial biosphere could withstand. Conor reluctantly accepted the help of the USS Enterprise-D, which had been observing the fragment. Aaron Conor was played by actor John Snyder.
